Influencer Boxing Event in County Kilkenny Ends in Riot and Arrests

A controversial influencer boxing event in County Kilkenny ended abruptly in a mass brawl on Saturday night, leaving one man in hospital and two people arrested.

Gardaí arrived at The Hub in Cillín Hill at approximately 9pm after violence broke out both ringside and inside the venue.

A man in his 30s was assaulted and removed from the scene by ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital for treatment.

Two males were arrested following the disorder, including a man in his 20s and a teenager who was charged with violent disorder.

The event was organised by Unhinged Promotions, founded by British influencer Harrison Sullivan, and attended by far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Tensions escalated after social media personality Mohammad Kubba jumped from the ring and attacked Robinson, who was watching from the front row.

Violence quickly spread through the crowd as chairs, glass, and barricades were thrown across the room, forcing organisers to abandon the event before its headline bout.

Speaking on social media afterwards, Kubba claimed that the initial altercation had been scripted.

"This is a message to all of Tommy's supporters, I just followed the script that they told me they agreed with. So what's everyone trying to attack me for?" said Kubba.

"I don't know what's going on, this whole thing is crazy," he said.

Garda headquarters confirmed that members attended the scene after violence erupted.

"One male, aged in his 30s, was assaulted and removed from the scene to St Luke’s Hospital," said the Garda in reply to queries.

Gardaí are currently reviewing CCTV footage and online video clips as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

Local politicians and observers expressed shock at the scale of the sudden disorder.

Authorities have not yet announced further charges as investigations into the violent clashes continue.
